Dog Walking in Willimantic

About: I love animals & have had many--from turtles & fish to cats & dogs & goats. Its such a pleasure to tend to them & just be with them. I'm super responsible & your pet will be my priority the entire time you are away. It will be such fun! Experience with older dogs & cats as well as special needs dogs & cats :) I only accept 30 minute drop-ins and walks within a 5 mile radious from my home. Over 5 mile radius requires a 45 minute or an hour walk or drop in! I have experience with senior dogs & cats. I have experience also administrating insulin to older dogs & other willing animals. I am a freelance worker which gives me ample opportunity to accommodate to your pet's and your schedule needs. I have a very flexible schedule. Since I myself have had stay-in-sitters for my pets; I know how important it is to have a truly attentive & responsible sitter in order to relax while you are away. While you are away I will ensure that your pets daily feeding, walking & companionship needs are met. WE will have such a great time together!

About: I’ve done daily visits and taken care of a variety of pets of all different sizes. I’m prepared to work with animals of all needs and am not scared of special requests! I go to a local college during the week but I live near by and am able to drive to client’s houses. My classes have bigger gaps and would be able to visit pets between classes or before or after. I have 10 years of experience handling reptiles and have lived with dogs my whole life. My dogs go on up to 3-4 walks a day and I am able to visit a clients house to pay their pets a visit or take them for walks multiple times daily if needed.

“Tyler is wonderful. My pup is usually shy around males due to her past but she absolutely adores him. As soon as she sees his car in the driveway she gets so excited. He's great with her.”

About: I've had dogs since I was 10 and participated with their health care growing up and decided I wanted to be in the veterinary field from that point. I started pet sitting for a farm in 2017-2021. I went to school to be a veterinary assistant in 2020. I later got a job at a vet clinic in 2021 and started pet sitting for clients there on the side. I've had 4 years experience with observing animal behavior and know what to look for when a pet is feeling ill, restraint, nail trims, administering medications, injections, and treatments. I also worked for a summer at a dog boarding facility and have experience with observing play behaviors to prevent fights from breaking out in groups. I just recently quit my full-time veterinary assistant job in October 2025, due to workplace drama and still have some regular pet sitting clients from the vet clinic, but thought I'd give this a shot to widen my clientele. If you like my services, I encourage you to contact me outside of Rover! I can only take on other dog friendly dogs in my house because I have 2 myself. I'm willing to go to your house for visits if they're not dog friendly. I have an unfenced yard, so any dogs staying with me will go outside on a leash. Dogs must be crate trianed to stay at my house. My dogs stay out when I go on errands or out for the evening, but get locked up at night.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs my whole life. Growing up, my mother was (and still is) a doggy foster mom for our local shelter. We constantly had 4-6 dogs in our home, most of which ended up staying long term. I have years of experience caring for multiple dogs and senior care as well! I work completely from home which will allow me plenty of time to attend to your pups needs all throughout the day. I love to jog and hike, so your pup will be sure to get plenty of exercise and outdoor time with me! I provide a safe, calm, and attentive environment for every pet in my care. Working from home allows plenty of supervision, potty breaks, playtime, and attention throughout the day. While I do not have a fenced yard, all outdoor time is supervised and dogs will always be kept safely leashed. I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual routine, feeding schedule, crate preferences, and any special care instructions to help them feel comfortable and secure.”

About: What sets me apart as a sitter is my calm, reliable, and attentive approach to care. I take the time to understand each pet’s unique routine, personality, and needs so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I’m highly detail-oriented, follow all care instructions closely, and prioritize safety at all times. I provide consistent communication with updates and photos, respect clients’ homes, and adapt easily to pets of all ages and temperaments. Above all, I genuinely love animals and treat every pet as if they were my own. I will be attending college until May, I am free most weekends or after classes. I make sure walks, feedings, playtime, and check-ins are never rushed, and I only take on bookings I can fully commit to. This allows me to provide consistent, reliable care while maintaining a balanced routine, so every pet receives my full attention and dependable care. I care for pets in their home by maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow all feeding, walking, litter, and medication instructions carefully while prioritizing safety and cleanliness. I give each pet attentive companionship through play, enrichment, or quiet time based on their personality, and I respect their space when needed. I also keep the home tidy, secure, and treated with care, and provide regular updates and photos so owners feel confident their pet is happy and well cared for.

“Amazing!”

About: I’ve spent years caring for pets of all kinds, from energetic puppies to shy cats and everything in between. I’m comfortable with any schedule your pet needs and I always treat every pet like they’re my own. I am currently a student so all of my days are flexible. The semester is almost over but next semester I only have class on Tuesdays and Thursdays. I’m available for boarding during the week and weekends and everything else is flexible and able to fit into my schedule. There’s plenty of places for them to walk and play. They can easily be crated as well. Anything can be accommodated and done as needed.

About: Hi! Im 24 and I live on Amston Lake and I love to walk dogs! I have a lot of free time in the mornings before work and on my days off. I am open to walking big and small dogs! Also open to walking more than one dog at a time! I have a 8 year old Shihpoo that is very dog friendly! I also have two indoor cats! Let me know if he can join on the walk with your dog! I would prefer walking dogs around the lake, but I am open to going to new neighborhoods, trails, or dog parks! I am currently working full time, I work a 5 on 2 off, 5 on 3 off schedule (evening hours) so my days off change every week. I have a lot of free time in the mornings before work and on my days off. On my days off I am available all hours! I can provide walks around the lake, nearby neighborhoods, dog parks,and hiking trails. I am open to feeding pets, letting them out to use the potty, and play time!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs my entire life. Even through college and grad school, I had roommates with pets. Now I’m living in a rental that doesn’t allow animals, so I’m hoping to find some local pets to care for and spend time with! I’ve cared for cats and dogs of all ages and activity levels since I was young, and I enjoy taking dogs for walks any time of year! I’m a middle school teacher, so I have a pretty consistent schedule from August-June. Most days I’m able to leave work by 3, so I have all afternoon and evening to care for pets. In the summer and on breaks, I have a lot more flexibility with my schedule. I do have a small fenced in yard in case I had a client’s pet in my home, though I’d more than likely care for the pets in the client’s home. I have experience feeding, bathing, crating, giving meds, walking, and snuggling dogs of all ages and activity levels, as well as feeding and giving meds to cats.

About: I have taken care of many different kinds of dogs and cats my whole life. In my neighborhood I am the trusted pet sitter and pet walker! I currently am a student I only have 2 classes a day so I will have plenty of time to take care of your animals. I always follow the ground rules set by the owners. I do my best to make sure the pets do not get into anything that could cause them harm.

About: I’ve lived with animals all my life and have experience with several different species, including dogs, cats, birds, and rodents. I have been responsible for my own pets since a young age and am familiar with general care, as well as administering oral and topical medications. I am a lover of all animals and am not easily frightened by them. Neighbors, friends, and family members typically turn to me if they need pet care for a trip. I am working part-time and attending college part-time, so there’s plenty of free spots in my schedule to turn my attention to pet care! I am quite flexible although my availability may change from week to week, so be sure to take a look at my I am confident but gentle when working with pets and I would never do a job I didn’t feel comfortable with. Safety for both me and the pet is my top priority! If I agree to any service you are requesting, you can know that I feel 100% confident I can do the job well.

About: I have grown up taking care of cats and dogs, and am comfortable around animals of all sizes and ages. I am reliable and detail oriented. I’m on winter break right now so I have a lot of free time and need work. I am available during weekdays as well as weekends. I care for pets in their own home where they will be most comfortable. I am always respectful of the house rules and clients preferences for how the pet is taken care of.

About: I’ve been around animals my whole life, and I have been pet sitting for a little over three years now! I currently have my own pets: two cats, and a dog. I have a few families whom I sit for regularly. I have had experience caring for puppies-senior dogs with special needs, diapers, and medications, as well as kittens-senior cats! My whole life I have been caring for pets of my own, as well as those of friends and family. My boyfriend has been sitting with me for well over 2 years now and has a lot of experience caring for many different animals. We have helped a few families out with training as well so that they can stay as close to their normal routine as possible! I’m currently working full time at UConn, but my boyfriend is working remotely. This being said he would be able to provide plenty of potty breaks throughout the day. We can both provide walks and plenty of play time morning and night as well! I am very flexible with whatever routine you would like me to follow for your fur babies! Personally, I have an electric fence for my dog at home, but I still go out with her, as she does not like to be alone! Although my cats are indoor cats, they LOVE being outside, so on nice days I will take them out on a leash and sun bathe with them!

“Rebecca has been amazing addition to Knox's week. He looks forward to his runs and loves all the love he gets from her. Shes great at giving you detailed info on the walks and is super informative and communicative. Thanks Rebecca! You've definitely exceeded my expectations!”
